#1 Scott Kuggeleijn
The all-rounder from New Zealand made his international debut back in 2017 but has gained recognition in the last couple of years. Scott Kuggeleijn is a genuine fast bowler who can bowl consistently at 140 kmph and can also bat well lower down the order. He has earlier represented Chennai Super Kings and will be one of the front-runners to replace Josh Hazlewood.
While Kuggeleijn failed to make an impact in his debut IPL season, the Kiwi cricketer has been making the headlines since the last season of the Caribbean Premier League. Playing for the St Lucia Zouks, Kuggeleijn picked 17 wickets in 11 games and was the highest wicket-taker of the season. Following his good performance in the league, he was also picked in the New Zealand T20I squad against the West Indies.
Scott Kuggeleijn is best-suited for the T20 format and can be a perfect addition to the Chennai team for IPL 2021.
